The genius pyrographer of the reborn daughter

Chapter 42

Ning Wanzhu told Mo Lan everything that needed to be done.She looked at Mo Lan's extremely excited expression, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help twitching.

Mo Lan is the son of the Ning family. Like the Ning family, the family is prosperous. Inside the gate of the mansion that has lasted for several generations, not only the masters are thinking all day long to find a "foothold" for themselves, but the servants, Especially those servants who, like their masters, have been attached to the Ning family for generations, are all thinking about getting a better situation.

Mo Lan obviously knew this well, knowing that her young lady finally made a move, she was overjoyed for a moment.Ning Wanzhu sighed twice in her heart, and additionally told Mo Lan not to be too fussy, so as not to overwhelm the snake.

Mo Lan took the order and went.

Ning Wanzhu then started to get busy with the things at hand. She received news from the old man Du a few days ago, saying that it was a big family in Nanyang City. I don't know when it started, and it was popular to burn pictures on the fan bones.Ning Wanzhu then sent Mo Mei out, bought a few sets of fan bones and combs, and came back to practice when she was free.But at this time, Ning Wanzhu suddenly thought that maybe it was time to prepare some greetings for Uncle Shao Yang and his cousins.

She writes and draws, and then sits with Nanny Ye for a while, carefully learning how to make a fan pendant with the tied netting.Seeing her calm demeanor, Ye Momo didn't show any nervousness or particularly expectant expression, and there was a look of approval in her eyes.

When Molan came back when she was young, she told Ning Wanzhu that she had taken care of everything.

Ning Wanzhu nodded.

But Mo Lan was a little puzzled, and said, "Second Miss, do as you say, is that... enough?"

Ning Wanzhu frowned, "Mo Lan, you didn't superfluous. Do something other than my order!"

Mo Lan quickly shook her head. Although she was muttering in her heart, she still stepped aside and watched Ning Wanzhu calmly continue to play.

The next day, Ning Wanzhu got up in the morning and went to greet Yan Shi first.Ning Luozi, who used to go to Yan's place every morning to get some advice, was not there.Yan Shi accepted Ning Wanzhu's gift indifferently, but Yan Shi's frowning slightly revealed the anxiety in her heart.

Sure enough, less than half a moment later, someone from the other side of Danxuan hall came to invite Yan Shi.

Yan Shi sneered, and said, "Alright, I'll go and see what happened."

Ning Wanzhu was about to leave and said, "Mother... I, I don't think I should go together."

Yan's eyes were sharp, and she spun Ning Wan's vermilion face for a while, softened a little, and said softly, "Good boy, go yourself!"

Ning Wanzhu was naturally happy to avoid the conflict at Danxuantang.

At present, the situation in the inner courtyard of the Ning family is like a tripartite confrontation. Mrs. Ning is the elder, occupying the word of filial piety, Yan Shi is the head mother who presides over Zhongfu, and Ning Luozi occupies the identity of the eldest daughter.Before this, Yan Shi and Ning Luozi had almost always vented their breath through the same nostril.As for Mrs. Ning, when Mrs. Ning was in good health, the old lady didn't have that heart. Now that Mrs. Ning is sick, the old lady still wants to share some of the power of being the director of the house in her own hands for the sake of her own future. inside.

The day before, Ning Wanzhu saw Ning Luozi's personal maid, Yanling, talking to a woman in charge. After inquiring by Mo Lan, she found out that the woman in charge was newly promoted to the inner courtyard by Mrs. Ning's side, and was brought by the old lady from Qinghe. The daughter-in-law who came up to accompany the room.

Ning Wanzhu instructed Mo Lan not to do anything, but to inquire again.She knew that Mo Lan's behavior fell into the eyes of others because the little girl was very curious, but she believed that with Yan Shi's shrewdness, she would be able to discover something.

The rest depends on Ning Luozi's choice.

If Ning Luozi followed closely behind Yan Shi like her previous life, and Yan Shi would do what she said, then the old lady Wu Shi would have no chance to take advantage of her.However, as long as Ning Luozi is tempted a little bit, a rift will appear between her alliance with Yan Shi.

Based on Ning Wanzhu's understanding of Ning Luozi, Ning Luozi is unlikely to be willing to miss this opportunity.

Sure enough, after Ning Wanzhu stayed in Wuyuan for a short time, there was a commotion ahead, and the voice was in the direction of Dan Xuantang. "Inquire about it" Mo Lan didn't need to be told, she had already gone to inquire about the news, but she didn't wait for Mo Lan to come back.Ning Wan and Zhu Xian were summoned to Ling Cuixuan by Yan Shi.

Yan Shi obviously had a bad look on his face. He sat in the hall without saying anything, only sullen.Seeing her like this, the people who served Yan Shi knew that the mistress had lost her temper, so they didn't dare to say anything.Only Mama Jin lost her eyes to Ning Wanzhu.

Ning Wanzhu stood aside silently, and she didn't ask if Yan Shi didn't say anything.

Just like that, Ning Wanzhu stood until her legs felt a little sore.Yan Shi came over in a blink of an eye, glanced at her, his eyes softened a lot, and said slowly: "Look at me, I pretended to be troubled, but I didn't see the second lady here." Then she blamed Ning Wanzhu for not showing up. With a sound, the big maid next to Yan's, a girl named Ying'er, handed Ning Wanzhu a chair.

At this moment, Ning Luozi hurried in.

She looked—confused.

Seeing Yan Shi's calm face, Ning Luozi greeted her affectionately, and then said: "Mother, I..."

"By the way, your father is going to Shao's house for a banquet tomorrow. I have never decided which of the two of you sisters should go with him." Yan Shi interrupted Ning Luozi mercilessly, then turned to look at Xiang Ningwanzhu said: "Second Miss, since your elder sister is busy helping the family housekeeper recently, then you can accompany your father there, and say hello to your uncle's house for me."

Ning Wanzhu watched Ning Luozi's startled face become distorted.She didn't look particularly clever, and thanked Yan Shi still a little dull.It doesn't matter what Yan's said about this matter, her father Ning Yu has to make a decision, so she can't be careless now.

Then Yan waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, you all go down!"

Ning Luozi cried out sadly: "Mother—"

Yan Shi was already supported by Jin Mama, and went into the inner room like the wind.

And Ning Wanzhu didn't know where the cleverness came from at this time, and she stepped out of Ling Cuixuan like the wind, and only used the back of her head to deal with Ning Luozi's jealous and hateful eyes.

On the way, Mo Lan greeted her, and when Ning Wanzhu saw Mo Lan's smirking eyes, she knew that things were different from what she had expected.

Sure enough, from Mo Lan's narration, Ning Wanzhu knew what happened in Danxuan Hall.Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Wu disagreed with Yan on the selection of the lady in charge of the big kitchen. The two sought Ning Luozi's opinion, or in other words, Mrs. Ning forced Ning Luozi to express her opinion, and Ning Luozi chose to support her old lady.

"I heard from the sister maid in Danxuan Hall that the second lady's complexion was really ugly at that time, and she was very proud of being a young lady." Mo Lan added jealously.

Yan Shi would naturally be angry.Anyone who changes it will react like this.

When Ning Wanzhu thought about it carefully, she realized where Ning Luozi made a mistake—in fact, it was just like Mother Ye said a few days ago, the most important thing in the inner house is to understand where you are.If Ning Luozi's purpose had always been pure, being a prostitute and marrying Chang Shining, maybe she could really get what she wanted.

But if she wanted to be a prostitute, plan for her own future marriage, and want to get a share of the intricate interests of the Ning family's inner house, it was inevitable that she would lose sight of the other.

That night, Ning Wanzhu was busy preparing a small gift for her uncle's family.

Outside the small Wuyuan where she lived, there were people coming and going, making quite a noise.Without Ning Wanzhu going to give orders, Mo Lan had already gone out, and came back with a pale face after a while, and said to Ning Wanzhu quietly: "It's terrible, the eldest lady has a wild goose heart in her yard, and people drag her out." In the yard, I hit twenty big boards, and I was about to beat him to death, and the eldest lady still yelled—'beat me to death'! Yan Xin is an old man who has served the eldest lady for many years!"

Seeing Mo Lan's pale face, he was really frightened.

Ning Wanzhu knew that Ning Luozi had suffered from Yan Shi's place today, and she felt unhappy, but the people in her yard, this Ning Luozi, who was so angry, she was born again in vain, she really lived more and more. gone back.

With a slight movement in her heart, she said to Mo Lan: "Are you familiar with that Yanxin's family? After Yanxin is taken back to recuperate, you will secretly send five taels of silver for me. Well, I will go to see Ye Momo Some medicines for invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis were also sent. Remember, don’t leave your name, don’t specifically say that our Wuyuan sent it to her.”

This time it was Mo Mei's turn to not understand. "Miss, you gave so much five taels of silver without leaving your name and surname. What is the reason for this?"

Ning Wan and Zhu Nai calmly explained to her: "If that Yanxin is a person who knows how to be grateful, and he gets help, he will naturally try to find out who gave the help afterwards. Otherwise, why should we leave our names? They suspect us." The courtyard where Ning Luozi lived was originally called "Wulange", but the whole Ning family thought it was a mouthful, so they just called it Lanyuan.

On the other side of Lan Yuan, after Yan Xin was dealt with, it was still chaotic and noisy until late at night.

On the second day, Ning Yu took Ning Wanzhu out to visit Shao's house.Probably, Mrs. Yan had already greeted Ning Yu, and Ning Yu was not surprised when she saw that it was Ning Wanzhu who came out. Instead, she smiled at Ning Wanzhu and said, "Your Uncle Shao Yang has been here for nearly seven or eight years. I haven't been back to Nanyang. You probably don't recognize it!"

Ning Wanzhu thought about it, it wasn't.Uncles and aunts also went back to Nanyang for the Hanging Festival when their biological mother passed away, and they seldom returned to their hometowns after that.

Most of the Shao Clan members who stayed in Nanyang City were side branches, such as Aunt Shao's family, and they also went with the Ning family during the festivals.It's just that among the Shao clan in Nanyang, there are no outstanding children who can take a step forward in fame, and no one can support the Shao family in terms of farming fields, or even trading businesses.

Therefore, the entire Shao family only refers to uncle Shao Yang.
